简要总结
"Ankle sprain is a common musculoskeletal injury that can pointedly influence the quality of life of an indivual. Old rehabilitation approaches often require recurrent clinic visits, which can be time-consuming, costly, and unreachable to many. This study aims to design and validate a mobile health application for home-based musculoskeletal therapy in ankle sprain.
详细描述
The study will employ a randomized controlled trial design, involving patients with ankle sprains, healthcare professionals, and healthy volunteers. The mobile health application will be designed to provide personalized exercises, education, and monitoring to improve rehabilitation outcomes. The study will evaluate the effects of the mobile health application (m Health) in reducing pain, improving functional ability, and ornamental quality of life. The study will also assess the usability and acceptability of the application among patients and healthcare professionals.
Outcome measurement tools will contain the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and System Usability Scale (SUS) The study will contribute to the development of an innovative, home-based rehabilitation solution for individuals with ankle sprains, improving accessibility and adherence to rehabilitation programs.

结局指标
主要结局
Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)
时间窗: 12 Months
FAAM. Each item of the FAAM is scored on a 5-point Likert scale with 4 points representing no difficulty at all; 3 points, slight difficulty; 2 points, moderate difficulty; 1 point, extreme difficulty; and 0 points, unable to do
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
时间窗: 12 months
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is perhaps the most frequently applied scale used to quantify pain intensity in the clinical setting. It is an 11-point numeric scale, ranging from 0 indicating no pain to 10 indicating worst pain imaginable
